A MAJOR rescue operation was launched after reports of a person on a foil board drifting out to sea within the Caernarfon Bay area.
Rhosneigr Coastguard Rescue Team was tasked by Holyhead Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) to Traeth Llanddwyn in Newborough to get eyes on the person on the foil board.
A Coastguard Rescue Helicopter, Rescue 336 from Caernarfon, and the RNLI lifeboat from Porthdinllaen also attended.
Coastguard Rescue Teams from Bangor and Llandwrog were also involved, with crews looking out from vantage points along the Menai Strait down towards Trefor.
Rhosneigr Coastguard Rescue Team said: "Shortly after an update was received that the foilboarder had managed to self-rescue and was safely ashore and our Coastguard Rescue Team was able to stand down and return to station to make ready for any future taskings."
The Coastguard advises that in a coastal emergency, people should call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
